Architekturzentrum Wien

opening hours & price

The wide-ranging program on offer at the Architekturzentrum Wien bridges the gap between specialists and those who are simply experts of daily life. It encompasses international exhibitions on special themes, a permanent overview exhibition of Austrian architecture, and a total of over 500 events each year, from symposia, workshops, and lectures to guided tours, excursions, film series, and hands-on formats.

As the Austrian museum of architecture, the Az W has established itself on the international scene as an outstanding center of education and research. It offers an unparalleled collection of Austrian architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and a comprehensive service for researchers and all those interested in architecture. This includes a public specialist reference library, the “Architektur Austria Gegenwart” online database of buildings, and an online encyclopedia of architecture.

The Az W sees itself as a forward-looking institution where knowledge is not only collected but also communicated. At its core is a focus on the social dimension of architecture, which prompts questions about distributive justice in the built environment, about living together in an increasingly diverse society, and about managing resources. By looking behind the scenes and including the perspectives of its users, the ways in which architecture shapes our lives become clear to all.

Café Leopold offers ambitious Asian fusion cuisine alongside Viennese favorites and produce from regional suppliers. From sushi, poke bowls, and bulgogi to Wiener Schnitzel and hot chocolate muffins, there’s something here for every taste. The café aims to be as attractive to museum visitors from all over the world as it is to guests from Vienna. Café Leopold is run by the restaurateur group around Tie Yang, which has specialized in south Asian and Chinese specialties for more than 15 years, operating various restaurants in Vienna that offer culinary diversity and epicurean surprises.

The restaurant’s visual concept was created by the international artist Jun Yang in cooperation with local architecture studios. Klaus Schwarzenegger was brought in to head the design team for Café Leopold as head planner. Despite a complete renovation of the venue in 2017, the café’s original character has been preserved. Individual elements, such as the light fittings designed in the basic geometric forms of circle, square and rectangle, the glazing in the bar, the bright counter, and the booth at the back of the venue, have now been redesigned with “Viennese chinoiserie.” The furniture is in elegant gray, with tables and Vitra designer armchairs.

Tables in the courtyard mean you can enjoy the summer sunshine in perfect calm.

French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal are responsible for the outstanding design.The patterned floor tiles evoke a Turkish café. They were designed especially for the space by the architects in partnership with the Vienna-based Turkish artist Asiye Kolbai-Kafalier and were hand-crafted in Istanbul. A raw, unplastered concrete-block wall separates the kitchen area from the dining room. But the wall’s position makes it invisible from outside, with the vault seeming to span the whole space uninterrupted. With its expansive windows, the dining area is a light-flooded room with a direct connection to the MQ’s exterior spaces. In a spirit of timeless elegance, the furnishings are kept simple, with mass-produced tables and chairs.

Formerly a winter riding hall with an imperial viewing box, the historic setting was adapted by architect Gregor Eichinger and his group EOK into a modern café-restaurant. The splendid stucco decoration and remarkably lofty ceilings create the perfect frame for a perfectly attuned interior: oversized ceiling lamps, banquettes upholstered in various shades of olive, walnut tables, and a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit, likewise in walnut, that also functions as a room divider between the kitchen and café-restaurant. The space offers minimalist design with a feelgood factor.
